Quarters Flashcards
Purpose fulfilled through form
It‘s about building. It‘s about the form. (If you‘re somebody that purpose is fulfilled through mind you can live in a cave and it doesn‘t matter); if you‘re somebody whose purpose is fulfilled through form, at the very least you have to decorate the cave, put a few paintings in it, maybe some buffalo walking by. Immediately you‘ve got to do something, because you‘re concretized through the form.
So, we get artists. We get sculptures and architects. We get all of that. We get landscape artists and people who can‘t just see a plant grow. They have to manipu- late it and create gardens and fountains and on and on and on. Everything has to be fulfilled through form…
There are people who are really given a hard time for being material; these poor bastards. They‘re really given a hard time for being material. Now, if they come in on this Quarter it‘s ok, because there‘s nothing else for them. They‘re simply trying to figure out which form that they can build, which form that they can endow…
And there you are forced to be material. It‘s not like you necessarily want to—not-self conditioning, all of those things. And yet, this is your way. And you can see that this fulfillment through form is from the womb to the room mystically.
Of course, this is the whole thing about Civilization. Civilization begins in the womb of the mother…. So, what you‘re looking at is this deep yin demand to concretize in form. And so this really is about building things, making things happen, doing things. It‘s all about manifesting. So, if you‘re a Generator and you‘re born in this Quarter, there is enormous pressure on you to manifest, greater than the pressure on a Generator born in the Quarter of Initiation where the pressure is simply mental and you don‘t have to do anything.

Quarter of Civilization
How to Surrender to Death
The theme of that Quarter is: How do you surrender finally to death? How do you accept the fact that the wheel ends for us? How do you come to the point of accepting that life is what it is, it will
come to an end and you will move on?
Thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of incarnations, and their underlying theme is all the same—how do you resolve death? How do you resolve it?
The only way I know how you resolve it is, if you live correctly, you will die correctly. It‘s as simple as that. In other words, you‘re not going to get to the door and either be full of regret or pain. You‘re not going to be angry that you have to leave. You‘re not going to be disappointed in the nature of your life. In other words, in the end, all of this is about mutating our consciousness.
Quarter of Mutation
The 4 basic dynamics of what life for us is supposed to be.
We are supposed to Initiate Civilization through Duality and Mutate until we die.
the Right Angle‘s responsibility in a quarter…What’s the RA function (compared to other angle)?
…is to, in a very self-absorbed way, live out that process and find out what happens.
… it does the research
The transpersonal’s responsibility in a quarter is…
What’s the LA function (compared to other angle)?
What are the LA profiles?
… to try to propagandize to everybody else what‘s been achieved in this particular Quarter, through this particular hexagram, through this particular variation.
… it does the marketing and propaganda on what the right angle has researched.
The Difference between the 5 and 6 in a Left Angle
And again, when I say Left Angle I‘m really saying that when you‘re dealing with Left Angle, the 5s are different than the 6s. And in fact, the only truly transpersonal Left Angle Profile is the 5/1. It‘s the only one. 5/2s, because they‘re self-motivated, are rarely transpersonal in their activities. And when you‘re dealing with the 6s, which is at the end of the circuit, you have to see that 6s are quite different because of their responsibilities and because of the way they operate mutatively. That they‘re going to operate transpersonally in a different way. It‘s not the transpersonal Left Angle marketing of the 5 which is ―here‘s my shtick, now buy it and go for it.‖ It‘s what heretics do. It‘s what I do. That‘s the classic movie.
And of course, the 6 is different. They don‘t do any direct marketing. The 6 is word of mouth. ―Did you see Harry? He looks so different. I wonder what happened to him.‖ That‘s the result of a 6. The result of a 5 is, ―I went to this lecture last night and there was this strange guy there saying I had no choice.‖ It‘s a very different thing.
So, they‘re very different in that sense in terms of the way they market. And our ultimate marketing, the Piscean marketing is the 5 and the Aquarian marketing is the 6. So, you‘re seeing this shift in the way in which the Left Angle sells the whole on the story.
The juxtaposition in a quarter…
… is going to be very fixed in its aspect of living that out.
… bridges the RA & the LA
The Quarter of Duality: The 57th Gate
And you‘re dealing with a 4/6. You‘re dealing with a 4/6 variation of the Sun in the 57th gate, the 57th gate of duality, to use your intuition to penetrate the mystery of duality. There‘s a lot of sex in that statement. It‘s built into that.
The whole theme of duality is about our fertility and our bonding with the other. Make babies, says this Quarter. You built the house and the church and the school in the last Quarter and now you‘ve got to fill it up. Fill it up with children and work- ers; fill it up. And go through the mystery of the bond. And go through the mystery of the two becoming three. All of that is built into this Quarter of Duality. And here in the 57th gate, this deep concern about the survival of duality. This is a place where in this Quarter the understanding of our basic nature gets discovered.
What you‘re seeing is that initiation on one side is not a completion. But the mo- ment that you have initiation within the context of the civilization is the moment that you have the opportunity to be able to discover the intrinsic dualities. The most mundane duality, man/woman, and the most exalted dualities that we are the by- product of the yin/yang, that the totality is dualistic, that our genetics are binary, that the computer we use is binary, and you go on and on and on and on and on, here is where the binary gets exalted. And the penetration to the binary is here.
The Quarter of Duality
How many juxtaposition in a quarter? What’s the juxtaposition profile? “function”?
You only have 16 Jux- tapositions. And those Juxtapositions become very important, because again Juxtaposition is a bridge. And it is a bridge between the personal & the transpersonal. It‘s a linkage.
When you say that within the context of doing somebody‘s design and you‘re talking to a 4/1 they have a sense of it, but it isn‘t really about that for them. What‘s more important for them is the fact that they need to have things that are very solid in their life so they‘re not broken by life. If you‘re going to be a 4/1, the things that you trust in, the things you believe in, the things you understand, whatever the case may be, you have to have a solid foundation before you put it out, because the great risk to you in your life is being broken.
But at a higher level in terms of the way in which the totality operates, the Juxtapo- sition is very important as a genetic linking. In other words, it is a way of bringing together the personal process of the Right Angle and transforming it into the Left Angle propaganda and marketing. Because remember, that‘s what Left Angle does. Right Angle does the research; Left Angle does marketing and propaganda.
